Experienced All Levels Certified Native English Tutor

About the tutor

My name is Leigh from Johannesburg, South Africa.My time zone is GMT+2.

English is an incredible tool that can be used to unlock communication floodgates on a global level. It is pretty much the de facto lingua franca of the digital and business worlds. It can only bring added benefits and advantages to those who successfully master it.

I trained and have worked in tourism industry in Southern Africa for over 20 years. I have been involved in outreach programs of mentoring and giving free lessons in life skills to young people in my community for decades. I taught my two children at home for some time.

I have a master’s degree in business administration. I am certified to teach English as a Foreign Language. I also specialized in Advanced Grammar and Teaching Young Learners.I have been teaching English online since June 2018. I am currently learning a couple of new languages. This has helped me to better understand the challenges of learning a new language. I am truly well-equipped to help my students achieve their goals. I tailor-make and adapt my lessons to suit the learning style, language level and learning goals and interests of each individual student. Therefore my lessons are personalized and customized to the individual student’s needs, whether it is Business English, exam preparation, job interview preparation or intensive every-day conversational classes. Progressive regular reviews will be conducted with each student. I teach all levels from absolute beginner to advanced.

Besides English, I can assist with step-by-step guidance on thesis presentation for graduate students research projects. I can also assist with most business related skills especially aligned to tourism and hospitality, advertising sales and general business management.

I am a fun-loving person who enjoys mentoring others. I am not blowing my own trumpet but my students have found me to be “a very patient, tolerant, polite, attentive, adaptive, friendly and fun tutor”. So come meet and try me! I look forward to you joining me in class for a fun-filled, informative, professional and relaxed lesson.

I read a lot and I like designing. I play computer games. I like road tripping in Southern Africa and taking lots of pictures, pretty much of anything!

Leonah is a really professional tutor! She measures your level and gives a lot of materials according to this one and your goals. She does it constantly. The study process is not formal, it's like a friendly conversation. So far, it's the best choice for me. Leonah is an amasing tutor!

Business English

I will tailor the course to suit the student’s line of work. I currently teach many of my students Business English. Because I worked in managerial positions in a corporate environment for over 25, I will coach you to become a true professional.

I have received extensive training on how to successfully teach students to obtain high marks in these exams in all the reading, listening, speaking and writing skills. I have learned the tests and the best ways to answer the test questions. The company I have been tutoring with equips tutors with the necessary skills to successfully lead students to comprehensively pass these exams. While some organizations have taken it upon themselves to offer certification to train tutors these certificates are however not accredited by the organizations which design and administer the IELTS, TOEFL or TOEIC tests.

British English is my home language. It is also the official language, business language and the medium of instruction in our education system from kindergarten right through to university level. This fact qualifies me even further to teach students from Beginner to Advanced Levels.

I am certified to teach English as a Foreign Language, Advanced Grammar and Young Learners. When teaching kids I use lots of Total Physical Response (TPR) as I believe that children are naturally curious, appreciate humor and learn most effectively through play and active involvement. I conduct one to one classes for kids and group classes only for adults. My current students are aged between 5 and 65.

English job interview prep

Preparation for all types of job interview questions and suitable answers. I have helped some of my students to prepare for job interviews and some succeeded in securing the jobs.
